Phyllis's Story
I know I didn't actually graduate from Bolton High, but that's where I grew up and the people I consider my school mates are there.
I now live in an off-grid (photovoltaics) house with my husband in Northern California near Bodega Bay, 60 miles north of San Francisco. I support myself as an Organic Market Gardener (flowers and vegetables), as well as maintaining gardens for wealthy neighbors. I taught English as a Second Language in New Britain after graduating from CCSU in 1989, but I finally decided that I couldn't take New England winters anymore, and returned to California and married my old hippie boyfriend from the 70's. I'm happily married and self-employed in Paradise (as long as there are no f...Expand for more
ires, floods or earthquakes).
Well, it's 2014, and I'm still being a farmer, but now I (we!) am 65 and have Medicare!! Years without expensive medical insurance and, fortunately, no serious illness. I have a good reputation, so I'm still selling flowers for weddings and other celebrations in April and May when other local flower growers don't have any flowers!! The Occidental Bohemian Farm Market, where I sell veggies and flowers (check out their website, and visit if you are ever in Northern California) starts the first Friday in June and continues through the end of October. By then I'm ready for a break!! I'm on Facebook, but not often, as I don't have a lot of time. Happy, busy, and arthritic!!
